An exercise device is provided for removable attachment to the foot rests of a wheelchair to enable a person sitting in the seat of the wheelchair to exercise at least one of his or her arms and legs. The device includes a base slidably received on the foot rests and an exercising arrangement adjustably mounted on the base to accommodate the physical stature of a person sitting in the wheelchair. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with the present invention, exercising devices are provided for use by a person sitting in a wheelchair and which devices are in the form of attachments removably mounted on the foot rests of a wheelchair.
Accordingly, the exercising device can be quickly mounted on a wheelchair for use by a person sitting therein and, advantageously, the exercising device is movable with the wheelchair.
Accordingly, if a wheelchair and exercising device need to be transported to a patient's room in a rehabilitation center, for example, the exercising device can be mounted on the wheelchair and transported therewith as opposed to having to transport the exercising device and wheelchair as separate items.
Moreover, when the exercising device is mounted on the wheelchair, the person seated in the chair can readily move or be moved from one location to another so as, for example, to change the environment in which the exercising is taking place.
Further in accordance with the invention, the exercising devices are structurally compact and lightweight which promotes the economy of manufacture, the ease of handling with respect to the mounting and dismounting thereof relative to the foot rests of a wheelchair, and minimizing the required storage space therefor.
Further in accordance with the invention, the exercising device includes a base removably mountable on the foot rests of a wheelchair and which, preferably, is of sheet metal construction having a U-shaped configuration for slidably receiving the foot rests of a wheelchair.
The closed end of the U engages the front edges of the foot rests to position the exercising device relative thereto and to the exerciser and, preferably, removable retaining elements extend through the base behind the foot rests to preclude unintentional separation of the exercising device from the foot rests.
Each device includes an exercising arrangement mounted on the base and which facilitates the exercising of at least one of the arms and the legs of a person sitting in the wheelchair
